What does the Bible say about humility in the kingdom?

In Luke 9:46-48, we find the disciples disputing about who should be the greatest in the kingdom. Jesus addresses their pride by taking a child and placing him next to Him, teaching that whoever receives a child in His name receives Him. This illustrates that in God's kingdom, greatness is not measured by power or position, but by humility and service to others. The lesson emphasizes that true greatness comes from being humble like a child and depending completely on God’s grace rather than our own efforts.
